Does anyone know a shop that has a Fox Frontier on display?
I'm in Barnet north London so ideally within an hours drive.
Want to have a closer look before I make my mind up.
Thanks for any replies.

You could try calling AD in Waltham Cross, they have a few bivvys up but don't know if they have the frontier. Outlaw Pro in Essex also worth a call, Browns in Leighton Buzzard..
I reckon if you're serious about buying one then Johnson Ross would put one up for you, but they don't have bivvys on display as standard.

Outlaw Pro don't have any shelters on display at the minute unfortunately.

What about Dave at Oakwood
They had a couple in
Could be worth a call
The tackle shack in Hemel are showing 4 in stock so they could be worth a call too

Drive up to the big one and compare all the bivvys that you maybe interested in.

Same, the flat back is the only thing I like about it. I hate the way they look, and they seem really heavy in the bag. My tempest is on its last legs and I'm stuck between a frontier or another tempest. The frontier just seems so much more spacious inside and fits in boarded swims better.

Yeah my tempest v1 bivvy has seen better days and after 7 long years of use feel like a new one. The problem I have is the new tempest 100 is smaller than the V1 and the 150 is too big.
My v1 is the perfect Why do they have to keep changing things?

What annoys me is I have a tempest air, and all the add ons, utility front, overwrap etc. I wish they kept everything the same so I could still use all those on the new bivvy.

It's a business to make money. They aren't stupid.

Exactly that, one of the biggest rips offs in fishing, tents
Makes me laugh when every year they then change the design, should have got it right in the first place ffs. Probably based on how much Chinese crap they get returned and then bin, all the failures will imitate a “new” model

Oh Mate, my thoughts as well.
I loved the original Fox EasyDome, I used it for years. The mark 2 was actually as good, I think the difference was a support bar to push the front out.
When I was working at Gladwells and the 'latest' version was brought out with a flat back it hadn't created any more space inside, or made the bivvy any better.
The redesign and 'upgrade' you know is to convince people to spend more money. The power of marketing.
It is done with so many items in fishing, hardly any products are a genuine improvement.
